The contest between the schools for
the De Laval Separator is becoming
the all-absorbing question in every
home. The children of Auson have
talked the good qualities of this, the
best separator made, until there is not
a home or hamlet in this county but
what knows that it pays the family
who own two or more cows to have a
separator.
Because of the great interest mani
fested both by children and parents it
is proposed to have a "GREATER

when the prizes are awarded, which
will be on Saturday, April the 16th.
A large number of the children have
expressed a desire to have the award

that they could have some time after

In the scramble that followed a pre

he noticed another man poking round

grew suspicious, and at last spoke.

marked Brown casually.
K-jbinson looked up in surprise.
"Why," he said, "how did you guess
that? She was born in this country
and has neither a trace of accent or
German idiom."
Brown Lughed a little confusedly.
"I just guessed it," he answered." "It
was well, maybe it was that I
thought 6he had Teutonic features."
Robinson looked first at his wife
and then at Brown. "That is curi
ous," he said. "She is more often
taken for a person of French extrac
tion. Her people are lrom the Rhine
district, you know, and as she isdark

"Oh," answered Brown, who had
by this time recovered his assurance.
"I am well acquainted with many

Mrs. Robinson laughed lightly.

Some people say they can buy fertilizer ingredients
and mix them at home and save two big round dollars
per ton. Also, it seems if you don't use any fertilizer
at all you can save thirty dollars per ton. This is what
the ancient philosophers called reducing things to absur-
Any cotton planter in this country would quickly
recognize the, absurdity of doing without fertilizer. A
little later, you will, after some coaxing, just as surely
recognize the absurd in the two dollar , saving. Two
dollars per ton is ten cents per hundred. If you use
four, hundred pounds, per acre, the saving is
Forty Cents Per Acre.
If you are planting a bale per acre, 40 cents is about
One-Half of One Per Cent
on the value of the bale. If you get a fertilizer wrong
by only a half of one per cent., the saving is lost.
It is not possible for any farm hand to measure up
anything within half of one per cent. This requires
skilled and trained operatives. It is not possible for
any farm hand to mix up the ingredients so that every
ounce will be like every other ounce. This requires spe
cial machinery. It is not possible for any planter to be
sure of a correct and uniform fertilizer if it is mixed by
hand. This requires the guarantee of a responsible fer
tilizcr manufacturer who maintains his brands and is
proud of them.
Forty cents saving on certainly uncertain fertili
zer, or half of one per cent on the result, is a certain
way to risk ten per cent.

varying frequently in purchasing
power, will give one an inkling to
the meaning to the grower of cotton
of the advance in prices in the past
10 years. The average price of 500-
pound bale of upland middling cotton
in 1898 was $29.86; the average price
of the 83 me kind of bale in 1908 was
a little less than $5245.- ..Those were
wholesale prices. What the bales

If all cotton growers were able to
live at home, that is, to raise such
food supplies as corn, wheat, beans,
rice, live stock, potatoes etc.; if eve
ryone had his own granary and
smokehouse instead of drawing upju
the West in those particulars, there
would be little use in comparing the
relative prices of cotton and other
farm products. But in view of the
fact that some cotton growers pay too
little heed to raising borne supplies, it
is interesting to note that cotton, in
spite of its increased price, could buy
less corn, less cornmeal and fewer
beans at wholesale in 1908 than in
1898, and that, of course, there was
even a greater dinerence when it
came to retail prices. Between 1898
and 1908 the dollar value of a bale ot
cotton increased more than 76 per
cent, but its value in exchange for
other direct or indirect farm products
was nothing like as much, the bale of
cotton being able to buy in 1908 at
wholesale only 60 per cent, more of
wheat than in 1898, only 70 per cent.
